Hey fellow berry fans (I know you are!). After my Guest Editor week at Finnberry I of course have to say what I think about them on my blog too. First of all: You can use them for about EVERYTHING. They make your food nutritious and fill it with vitamins but moreover (oh my, I'm such an insta geek) they make your food so PRETTY! Have you checked out Finnberry's homepage yet? And the recipe section? If not, head over there NOW, because (yes, I am proud!) it's now full of my (pretty, hehe) recipes (direkt links below!)!

So, what does this Finnberry make? Finnish berries, obviously. And since I'm finnish, have grown up picking berries in the forests myself, I really do miss it. So promoting Finnberry's products was like a chance from heaven! I get to have my favourite berry treats and share them with you all. And Finnberry sells berries in every possible way: as powders, dried and covered in chocolate. Furthermore, the berry powders are concentrated, which means that they contain even more vitamins and antioxidants than the original berries. Only add a teaspoon of berry powders and you get so many nutritients it's crazy! And you can use them to any dish you make AFTER you have cooked it so you won't loose any vitamins like when you cook the berries. I'll now introduce you to all the berries Finnberry sells and what the health factors are. More information can be found on Finnberry's Berry Benefits page!

Bilberry (mustikka). It's often called blueberry too but should not be confused with it's bush berry sibling. Bilberries grow in the finnish forests during summers - this picture was taken by me, Lottie, at our summer cottage last summer. Bilberries have the most antioxidants of all berries. They slow the ageing process and prevent diseases. Bilberries improve eyesight and night vision too. But the newest research (from only 2 weeks ago!) shows that bilberries can help with high blood pressure and inflammatory! They lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels and contain so many vitamins that they're REAL FINNISH SUPERFOODS! More info and shop here!

Cranberries (karpalo) are very well known for a special drink🍷🍸, but they don’t only go well with vodka but also in all kinds of foods, as they’re really healthy! Cranberries protect our cardiovascular system and our liver and protect us from kidney stones. Also they’re used to prevent urinary tract infections. Furthermore, thanks to all the vitamins they contain (A, C, E, K1) they’re effective at fighting against infections and boosting general wellness.😷 More info and shop here!

Say hi to the vitamin bomb no. 1, aka sea buckthorn (tyrni)! 💛 It helps our bodies fight infections and illnesses. Also, sea buckthorns are used to treat heart diseases and blood and metabolic disorders. But best about them? They make your hair, skin and nails radiant and shiny! 💁👸✨More info and shop here!

Lingonberries (puolukka) in fact are my favourite berries in the world. You might know them from IKEA but they're really nothing like the oversugared mash you get there! To me they taste like home and my grandparents, because I used to pick them with them and my grandma always made lingonberry jam! Lingonberries are little tangy tasting berries, that make the most delicious dishes (absolute best berry dish ever? My whipped lingonberry pudding!). And here come the facts: They are a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants. They can lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, •prevent heart diseases and •decrease inflammation. This makes lingonberries real cancer fighters! And the best part? A new research shows that lingonberries help us loose weight! This is thanks to their polyphenol content and is researched further at this very moment. More info and shop here!

So now: why would you order superfoods that are produced in China or the rainforests and have to travel around the world for you if you can get some from the unpolluted forests of Nordic Finland? 🌲🌳🐻 Do the environment a favour and stop importing foods from too far away. ✈️🚫 And if you're not from the UK? Order them from Amazon (direkt link HERE!)! Finland should be closer to you than the rainforests are and so you really make the trees and animals around you happy! Oh and make sure to check out the dried berries and chocolate coated berries (yes, there is a vegan version!) too! And of course the instagram (they'll feature you if you use their berry powders!) and facebook.

And as I promised, here comes the list of my berrilicous recipes I created for Finnberry and the direct links to them:
